1. Important safety information To prevent fire or smoke damage Have your appliance properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1. Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been removed.
DO NOT allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the range. Wear suitable clothing NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought into contact with a hot surface and may cause severe burns.
Oven care n Use care when opening the door. Let hot air and steam escape before removing or replacing food (Fig. 1.1). n NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make container burst and cause injury. n n Fig. 1.1 ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. ALWAYS place oven racks in their desired location while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, DO NOT let the potholders contact the heating element in the oven. Fig. 1.
Use the right size pan General safety instructions This appliance is equipped with cooktop zones of different sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. DO NOT use unstable pans and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop. n This appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the installation instructions. The installation must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company requirements.
n NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only a maximum of one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt. Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
2. Range overview Fig. 2.1 A B C D The 36” induction range (Fig. 2.1) has the following features: Fig. 2.2 A. 5 induction cooking zones B. A control panel C. Main multi-function oven D. Storage drawer Cooktop Use only pans that are suitable for induction cooktops. We recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron pans with enamelled bases.
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved up when cold (Fig. 2.4). If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface. Fig. 2.4 Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the cooktop panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits. Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the cooktop.

The Bridging-Zone Function Fig. 2.10 Zones D and E can be bridged, creating an area, ideal for use with an induction griddle (not supplied). Note: The griddle should comprise of an induction friendly, flat bottom, large enough to cover zones D and E of the hotplate heating area (Fig. 2.10). DO NOT use zones A, B or C to heat the griddle (Fig. 2.11). To activate the bridging-zone function, simultaneously turn the two right-hand controls completely clockwise (Fig. 2.
The oven is a multi-function oven (Fig. 2.15). In addition to convection elements around the fans, it is fitted with extra heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when placing or removing items from the oven. n A B DO NOT place aluminum foil on bottom of oven cavity. This will cause the oven bottom to overheat and void warranty. ArtNo.
Multi-function oven modes (Fig. 2.19) Fig. 2.19 Warming Thaw and serve Thaw and serve 0 This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold air only (Fig. 2.20). Make sure the temperature control is at 0° and that no heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted. True convection oven Browning element Conventional oven Thawing in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from contamination.
Convection assisted oven Fig. 2.23 This function operates the fans, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven (Fig. 2.23). The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast.
Accessories Fig. 2.27 Oven racks The oven is supplied with: • 3 telescopic racks with runners (Fig. 2.27) To remove and refit the telescopic rack and runners Slide the rack out on the runners. While holding one of the runners securely, carefully lift the rear of the rack upwards: the rack will spring clear of the central restraining tab. Repeat for the opposite side of the rack. Fig. 2.
3. Cooking tips Cooking with a multi-function oven Fig. 3.1 REMEMBER: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The oven cooking times given are intended as a guide only. 5 4 3 2 1 General oven tips The wire racks should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven. Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s wire racks. Other containers should be placed centrally.
4. Cooking table The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result. Food is cooked at lower temperature in a convection oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the convection oven temperature by 50°F (10 °C) and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.

5. Cleaning your range Essential information n Before thorough cleaning, turn off the circuit breaker. Allow the range to cool. n After cleaning remember to switch on the circuit breaker before using the range. n NEVER use paint solvents, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. n DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in Table 5.1 on page 20.
Control panel and oven doors Fig. 5.1 Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners, on brushed stainless steel surfaces. For best results use liquid detergents. The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth. The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water.
Cleaning table Cleaners listed (Table 5.1) are available from supermarkets or on line. For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner that is approved for use on vitreous enamel. Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe up any spillages immediately. Cooktop Part Finish Cooktop surface Toughened glass Outside of range Part Finish Door, door surround and storage drawer exterior Recommended Cleaning Method Hot soapy water, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
6. n Troubleshooting All servicing and repairs must be carried out by a qualified service engineer. Steam is coming from the oven When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
